Thanks for reply. I can get meter changed but city is reluctant to do so. They tell me very few properties have 1" meter. I have changed output from meter from 5/8" to 3/4" and using bucket test I'm getting about 9.2 gal a minute at the meter output. I couldn't believe the pressure and flow. The output is so great that I really stirred up sediment in line. I have gave it a real good flush now.
I have 1" coming into basement which is reduced to 5/8" in and out of meter. It then is reduced to 1/2" copper. I am going to change 1/2" to 3/4" to accomodate sprinkler system but am concerned that 5/8" at meter will restrict flow. I currently have 60 PSI and 6 GPM at bib but am assuming by changing 1/2" to 3/4" will increase flow. Should I be concerned about 5/8" in and out of meter?

I'm assuming that by changing to 3/4" that GPM will increase. Should I be concerned about 5/8" Meter sizing?
